Final Research Paper

Goal: Merge your research notes completed for each module, and compose an original, cohesive, compelling, and analytical research paper on the topic approved by your instructor.

Content Requirements:

• Secure approval from the Instructor by the end of Week 3 as to the specific topic, scope, and title of the final research paper.
• Submit an outline of the final research paper by the end of Week 5.
• Submit the completed research paper by Week 6 (submit here for final paper).

Submission Instructions:

• Each student must write an original research paper, in active voice, typed, double-spaced, justified, with 1-inch margins, in Times New Roman 12-point font, and in current APA style, including an abstract (50 words minimum and 100 words maximum), keywords (3 terms minimum and 5 terms maximum), and references (7 references minimum and no maximum) as well as any relevant tables, figures, and appendixes. Examples of manuscripts in this format are available in the Journal of Multidisciplinary Research.
• All work must be submitted only through Canvas, so it can be processed through TurnInIt - the plagiarism and Artificial Intelligence (AI) checking software - and not via email and not via attachments (.doc, .pdf, .rtf, etc.).
• Any student conducting research with human subjects (for example - interviews, questionnaires, surveys, or other related approaches)must secure formal, written Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval from STU and must submit a copy of that approval by the end of Week 3. (Be aware this involves a separate process, outside of this course, with a formal proposal, which may create a timeline that may conflict with the due date for this course. A student using this methodology must demonstrate extremely efficient time management.)
• The paper is to be written clearly and concisely, and students will lose points for improper grammar, syntax, punctuation, and spelling.
• The paper is to be 1,000-1,500 words in length, current APA style, excluding the abstract, title page, keywords, and references page
• Incorporate a minimum of seven (7) current scholarly journal articlesorprimary legal sources (statutes, court opinions) published within the last five (5) years.
